Early days

*** Thanx a lot to Kitty for these lyrics ***

Come a day

Come a day I’ll walk this earth
Where steps are taken sure
Come a day though it seem far away
Lines that bind are pure

 Had to find it
No way round it
Quick sand had a chance...

 So come, come on, come a day
Your eyes are where I’m right at home
Come a day though it seem far away
Stare bears love from stone 

Gentleness is what preceeds
Before and past the deed
Unafraid of caves and cobwebs
Shade can fade the hate

 Time won’t let you deny
Time will kiss you goodbye
We will leave you alone
We will leave you

 Time extends you a hand
Time defends your command
We will leave you alone
We will leave you

 So come a day X3

Gabrielle

 Windy autumn
Evening by the river
Stands a man
A man and Gabrielle

 Real looker
Her back began to shiver
Reminders of the months
Under his spell

 He spoke in measure
She recognized his rhythm
Been a year
A year without a sound

 She saw it comin
In gestures he delivered
Her eyes just kept
The ground....

 Cause Gabrielle
Has learned to tell
The gap from
False to real

 And needs a man
Who’s sane at hand
In tenderness
Revealed

 (He goes) I acted badly
Can you understand me?
The prace I’m making
Cause I’m a changed man

 (I was) such a fool
In how I used to trat you
Such a fool
To beat you out of life

 Gone the days
I leave you with no traces
Gone the day
You hate to see my face

 I know it’s late
I sweat and hesitate
Wouldn’t it
Be great?

Cause Gabrielle
I mean you well
And we have healed
In time

 For all the girls
In all the world
It’s you I seek
To find, Gabrielle“

She stood dazed
Nude in amazent
She heard his words
A hundred times again

 A fantasy has haunted her
For ages
That fantasy had now become
Her friend

 She came upon
An earring in the street
Tearful pearl
With silver to the sides

 She finally won
Her walk became a run
She felt as she
Could fly 

Cause Gabrielle
Has learned to tell
The gap from
False to real

 In her’s the fan
Who’ll meet the man
Cause love is
Strength revealed

 Gabrielle....

Mary the angel

 On Tuesdays mornings you’d wake her up
Take the firty clothes
And be on your way

 In the afternoons
When she got home
You’d share a snack
And talk about the day

 You’d fry chicken
At her birthday party
For that alone
They would’ve stayed

 To the little girl
You were her greatest present
To other kids you were just
The maid

 If angels can fly
Then you can fly
If angels can fly
Then you’d...

 Go with her to your neighborhood
To play with children door to door
Unaware of heat between your colors
Eternal war of man rich and poor

 And home there was no home
With you she‘d run away
You said Your Mum and Dad
They love you so“
And gentle strength convinced the girl

 Then you can fly
If angels can fly
Then you’d...

 When you had a stroke on
That summer’s night
The teenage girl nearly
Thought you died

 She wanted bad to wake you up....

Then you can fly
If angels can fly
Then you can...

Life is mine

 The blues in your eyes
Takes me to a time
There was no precision
No decision or love

 But if you take a chance
Cath this glance of mine
Because maybe baby
You’re what I’m thinking of

 To you I pose a question
Say no I go my way
It’s more like how we’re destined
And how I see you

 Life is mine X3

 New skies will open
Once my head is clear
We move to grow and learn to know
What the world was always supposed to hear 

For midnight will fall rain
To pour down beads of promise
And wash away the pain
So sleep in calmness

 Life is mine X3

 It says I lived a little more
For my age, I get a score 

Life is mine....

Dandy

 Sunday you’re turning sentimental
Take your time
I’m keeping my cool here
Do you mind?

 Pouring me petals of a rose
Our hearts are toasting
Now with eyes closed
There she goes

 Somebody likes me
And he’s somebody dandy
Carries me fancy
Past the time

 Nothing is ever accidental
That’s what a kiss is
That’s why your wish is....

 This thing between seem to be smooth
And so soothing
Dasingly proving
Like is grand

 Like is not to be underrated
It is a favor
Savor the flavor
While you can 

Somebody likes me
And he’s somebody dandy
Carries me fancy
Past the time

 Nothing is ever accidental
That’s what a kiss is
That’s why your wish is....

 Somebody likes me
And he’s somebody dandy
Carries me fancy
Past the time

 Nothing is ever accidental
That’s what a kiss is
That’s why your wish is....

The more we live

 One more candle for the evening
One last touch before I fade
Isn’t now the ever after?
Love can come at any age

The more we live
The less we die
The more we live
The less we die
It may get funny
So long as you’re asking why
The more we live...

 Could it be my star is in your gaze?
Could I play these strings to heal your pain?
You were up already, lightening struck you down
Get up one more time and you’ll be the man for me

 The more we live
The less we die
It may get funny
So long as you’re asking why
The more we live...

(X2)

No refrain

 Knock hard, I can’t hear anymore
I’ve been wasting on a whisper
Jump start, all this flesh on the floor
Just like in Bowling when he finally ...

 Checking out a fancy
With no time to skip the beat
Checking out a fancy
Sweet!

 Tucking in the waved heat and
My back begins to wave

 Hey Kevin guess what?
You just sent me to heaven
Don’t mind you
Now you‘re Mr. Blue

 Pouring me jugs of juice
For the diary
I’m ‚back to Jamaica‘
Feeling irey

 Loving in the seventh
Lots of sharps and flats to play
Loving in the seventh
Day

 Keep your faith in the right
You might swing and start to sway

Dream on

 Gotta go out again
No not tonight again
I’ll let you know
I assure you

Give me a moment
Some faith and a moment
If you want to hold me
I’ll let you

 Where are those tears coming from?
Held down in the well
That spring forth like children
Who live for the summer

 They lie in the marigolds
Then fly underground
Subscribe to the merrigolds
Imbibed with the lightest sounds

 Let me dream again
Let me dream on

 Where did our beauty go?
That’s right you told me so
How hard you tried me
To keep it

 Love is invincable
Love’s indestructable
What made you think
You might cheat it?

 Where are those tears coming from?
Held down in the well
That spring forth like children
Who live for the summer

 They lie in the marigolds
Then fly underground
Subscribe to the merrigolds
Imbibed with the lightest sounds

 Let me dream again
Let me dream on (repeat)

Silent song

 Streaming beams of silence
Sweeping down on a crowded room
Catch the flip side to violence
Could it be a change of mind 

Catching speed, catch attention
As it beaks up all the lines
Not to worry just to mention
You can own at an time

 Generation baby
Grab the reins
We’ve been your leaders
We’ve been bad

 No more mental whoopings,
Whips or chains
Cheating you was just a fad

Screaming beams of silence
Lying down on an empty floor
Did you miss out the first time?
Could you use a little more? 

Catching speed, catch attention
As it beaks up all the lines
Not to worry just to mention
You can own at an time

Generation baby
Grab the reins
We’ve been your leaders
We’ve been bad

 No more mental whoopings
Whips or chains
Cheating you was just a fad

Titles and Idols

*** Thanx a lot to Cécile for these lyrics ***

Let It Live

What's there left I haven't felt
Since I've known you ?
What else is there left to come ?
What do you know ?

Creaked open a cellar door
First the deluge, then pasture
Moving house was natural
Fared with the flow

The margins moved
To soften the boundaries
From slanted bents
Now mended to gaze

It's hard to believe you're here
And I'm here and we're coming back
You heard me out
Without a string
and let it live...

How'd we find such pleasure
In so few a moment
Rhthyhm keeping a measure
While we're on the go

Alone in rooms together
Racing the hand of a master
The more experience
The more that we know

The loving grooves we choose
That fuse
Those sufales we don't
Refuse

It's hard to believe you're here
And I'm here and we're coming back
You held my soul
With all your heart
And let it live
Let it live...

I Know Why

Off you go then
Off you go
I'll stay instead

out of black and back into the red

Found in you
Bound in you
All that I wanted to be
Go in anger and pull out what you need

I know why
fury's so hard to tame
I quit lying
I brought you here to blame
Trying to break through
all in a day
I know why
We dared to share but now
We're going away

Don't look back
Don't you look back
There's nothing here for you

Watch me patient
Watch me disappear

Fought for you
Thought for you
All that I wanted to be

Go in wisdom and read out
What you read
chorus

We dared to share it's good
To care and though we're scared
We're better for going
Away...

Titles & Idols

There's a call coming close
Luring me from a cell
Born from my very shell
That's finished and melting

There's a road and a role
Grumbling under me
It's bumpy but smoother still

Than what I was dreaming
No, il hasn't been long
Since the day I was lost
but today I can profess
Everyday's open
Cause we all bear a loss
As we cross to a star

To find out just who are we
To show you just who we are
No titles and idols
And nobody goes down...

There's a wage on a war
Lined in eternity
Signed by our destiny,
Religion and country

There's a rage within me
Fighting the pedigree
Plagued by its recipe
Excluding the true me

Chorus

Captain Daylight

Captain
Could you feed me
Cause I'm starving for some Daylight

Poor me
Always falling
Now I'm calling you to take flight

My head is a court
For the darkness
While needles go straight
For the joint

I can't seem to win
Many games here
In fact, I've forgotten
The point

Go way
Go out

Lady !
If you see the lady
Tell her that I'm alright

Better not yet
Cause she's buney
To the phone and
Does she wear her reasoning
Skintight

Cause moonlight can read
In a heart beat
Where you and now me

Chose to be
Take hold of the cold
And the pressure
The force of her truth
Is the key

Chorus

Captain,
I'm ready, you can send me back
A full moon

I was born there
I was graceful
I was steady, you know ?
This moment here's not too soon

I'm full of a fire
For all things
And blaze through the haze of "you should"

Cause going where no one
Has else been
Is something of love
That I would

Chorus

Nest Sensation

There's sleep in your eyes
Dawn gone - time to rise
They call this the "big world"

All that I found
Til now - confounds
Ohhhh, baby girl

To care's worth the dare
I wouldn't lie to you
I'd rather die

Why don't you go on and try that then ??
Hmmmmmmmmmm ?

No nest in this sidewalk
No nest in the sensation
I got a home

No rest in the complacence
You call hope

Hired then I'm fired
So fucking tired of
Screeching so-called teachers

Lying "Life Beth, is death desired"
Sit down...

Yeah you !

I like my, I want my,
I need my nest sensation
It feeds me, it fills me
It's deep this nest sensation
You charm me than harm me
Disarming nest sensation
Control me to hold me
Complete me nest sensation

No nest in this nicotine
No nest in the sensation
Blowing rings of smoke

No rest in the complacence
Flowing me 'vo
Down below
Why do you kill you ?
Where is your will
And the dreams choking in your pillow ?
They're dizzy and I'm
broken, broken, broken
Bro...

Chorus

No nest in his bedroom
No nest in the sensation
Oooohh I gotta man

No nest in the complacence
I'm in demand

Why do you fight ?
You already won
Don't you trust me ?
Your time is coming

And then you'll know some real loving!

Chorus

Until I Met You

Can a dance enhance
A couple's chance
To fall into a trance ?

Can a laugh beghin
The where within
To start a new romance ?

Can arms so strong
Be placed along
The place where we belong ?

Can a body melt ?
I'd never felt, I'd never known
Til I met you

Can the doubt that's creeping
While you're sleeping
Program it to lose ?

Can love or hate
That's risked your fate
Suffice to pay your dues ?

Can a tear increase
The fears release
in helping you to choose ?

Love had only seemed
A taunting dream
I'd never know
Til I met you

Some days are over
But some are right here
To wink you in the eye

A memory pleases
Before it teases
Out to make you cry

So in the long run
You'll be your one gun
It's do or die
And then I met you
Oh, why...

Can a thought get caught
In what it oughtnt't
Dressing you in green ?

Can jealous monster
Come to haunt
Creating ya'll a scene ?

Can trust surpass
The many passes
No doubt come to pass ?

Can the good persist ?
I'd only wished but
Never known til I met you

Who Said ?

Different shapes of people
Shaping their kinds of words
To say the same thing
Aching to wall with our backs straight

No matter how many times
You think you're ready...

I thing it'd be really good
If I could...be honest with you
Instead of acting like
In this I'm pleased

But I'm busy
Putting myself so far behind you
Instead of hanging right here
In the lead

Who said I wouldn't want to ?

Different shades of love
Searching any kind of love
To know the one love
Aching to lie on our backs straight

No matter...

Darling, I think it'd be
Searching any kind of love
To know the one love
Aching to lie on our backs straight

No matter...
Darling, I think it'd be
Really good if we could
Keep on doing what we're doing
My new friend, exact, indeed

Cause in the moment it's giving
Everything we own
Somehow in the next
I'm freed

Who said I wouldn't want you ?
Who said ?

Ordinary Life

Suddenly the sun is on
And turned up high
When you don't expect it
Heat's the best surprise

While our clothes are hanging on
For dear life, hanging out to dry out
Waiting to be used
Another day

Time for lunch
Time to set the table
Take a chair
Take the one you like

I wouldn't have to climb
The bar isn't so high
I wouldn't have to guess
The trouble on your mind

I'd hum against the wind
And often at your side
An ordinary "we"
An ordinary life

Even if you wanted to
You couldn't leave
Neighbors in your skin
Sifted through the lease

Pretty soon we'll be set to buy
We turned that round
We'll have you round
Go on bring your kids and dress it up

Holding on-holding up to grown-ups
Making due
Making due for now

They wouldn't have to climb

Ordinary "them"

Safe & sound
Even in the hard times
If I'm wrong
Least I had the right
chorus

An ordinary "me"
...That's life...

Nigel & Fiona

Leave the youth just as they are
For example, take our Nigel and Fiona
It's their anniversary
How's this for a plan ?

First, a shower after work
Nigel's had it, he could throw
Away his mobile - all he does is slave away
But those bastards are never satisfied

She waits at home
Magazines ring Fiona
She sells their space by phone
What she would really do is design
Maybe in time...

When you're not in a hurry
When you're cool on your own
When today's good as any
Then you're ready for love

When their words never hurt you
When their words only help
Bring you home to yourself
Then you're ready for love

Next our couple wines and dines
Plus it's Friday - almost every Friday's
Curry - they will barely fight tonight
Just gifts and a kiss

Neil is standing in the queue
With the pills - for pills their
Neil is brilliant - sometimes with
A few to spare
So he sells
What harm can pleasure do ?!

You check that sound ?
Any club ? No, the Desden'!
Their dj's in from Leeds and
They knew him before he was big
Oh yes they did!

Chorus

Their minds are high
Plus the sea is a dance floor
Fiona loves to move - Nigel watches
Her close from afar

Love hits us hard...

Hindsight

Vision that you're holding
Relished til it makes you whole
Push it out - the pull can't get
No bolder

Go on honey - buzz to heaven
This boy's being mine
Combed enough your hives to
Differentiate the kinds

Oh, the turns that take these tables
Our cards face up mark down into
Then changes crack the frame like thunder
Do you wonder ? cause I do...

Who's to say it we're too happy
Wo will tell, not I
Wrestling this devil for I swear
The final time

Oh, discouraging illusion
That it's not you who gets to choose
If panic never made us blunder
Do you wonder ? Cause I do...

Don't bend away framall
Your height
And curse this magic
Etched in Hindsight

To grow hold, while you mumble
To yourself "Oh well, but fuck,
Then again" - just hum, I'm sure
The tune's divine

In every undulation
In curves so rich to feel you through
Cause over everything that's under
Do you wonder ? bet you wonder

Cause I do...

WholeHearted

All together

As the days go by i put it
All together

I’ve been waiting quite some time
For the perfect time
To throw myself into the rhyme
And let it roll

As the days go by
I put it all together
I finished asking why
And let go forever

I debated at the door
Am i worth some more?
More for me and for the world
And one day my little girl

Everyday could hold regrets
When my best’s not here yet, but
Chuck it all if it’ll get
The best of me

As the days go by
I put it all together
I finished asking why
And let go forever

As the days go by
I put it all together
I’m only here to love
And that love’s forever

So you’re back on track
The world’s less crazy
You’re out of debt
And you had the baby
You put yourself on the
Banquet table
And serve your someone

As the days go by
I put it all together
I finished asking why
And let go forever

As the days go by
I put it all together
I’m only here to love
And that love’s forever...

The best things are easy

The best things are easy
Like birthdays and Fridays
And paydays
The may days of weekends galore

The beaches and oceans
With screeches of seagulls
In motion
The surfers who light up
The board

When a stranger
Has painted your picture
And the portrait’s
Good as you

Now behold
The magic in a day
The magic in a day
There’s magic in a day

The best things are easy
Like being ahead of the traffic
The package that’s perfect
To send

The laughter just after
A fight with your partner
Or lover
Discovering mother’s
A friend

You remember
When every struggle
Could endanger
Every dream

Now behold
What light can wash away
What light can wash away

The best things are easy
Like naptime and bath time
And bedtime

The cuddle, the huddle
The love, hmm
A story or fable
To teach us again why we’re able
The message embracing us all

The best things are easy
The best things are easy
The best things are easy

Indelibly you

With a band-aid as my ring
A journal as my bible
The fruit keeps up with us
As we ripen

Something’s in my overcoat
In the lining of my mind
Irrepressibly aware
It’s my time
It’s my time
It’s my time

Who are you longing to be?
The version they said
You should be instead
Now that you know
You are free
Indelibly you
Indelibly you
Coming through

I’m a lunatic in love
But the hermit’s by my side
Kicking me so hard
I can’t lie
Unsequestered by a truth
That some light comes from my drive
With an emphasis on dreams
Coming true
Coming true
Coming true

Who are you longing to be?
The version they said
You should be instead
Now that you know
You are free
Indelibly you
Indelibly you
Coming through

This slate is clean
But not from heaven
Born a little wild
Woman’s still a child
I made my way for
This drum i beat today
Indelibly you
Indelibly you
Coming through
Indelibly you
Indelibly you
Coming through
Always...

How far you’ll go

When you’ve been around
Like I’ve been around
You tend to see
Things differently

When you’ve been down
Like I’ve been down
You start again
More carefully

It’s all right there before you
The sages simply state it
We’re the ones who go and
Complicate it

When you’re all alone
Like I was alone
You face the truth
Within yourself

And when you’re on your own
I was on my own
You get it’s you and
No one else

Who knows how to define you
And let’s your heart refine you
With shadows to remind you
Of how far you’ve come

And how far you’ll go...

When you lost love like
I lost love
You learn to treat it preciously

So when you found love like
I found love
You hold it close
And graciously

Cause someone’s there beside you
Spreading light around you
With shadows to remind you
How far you’ve come
How far you’ve come

And how far you’ll go...

Wholehearted

In the neighbourhood
Walking through
The place you grew
Where your longitude
Lat you have
Some latitude
And your attitude
Though it was still raw
Would look ahead

There’s a difference
Over time we learn
Is clear
Separating those
Who permeate
The atmosphere
Heading for the thing
We all hold most dear
And need to share

Wholehearted
Life is getting good
I knew it would
I’m here now
I’ve started
Wholehearted

Wholehearted
Life is feeling good
I knew it would
I’m here now
I’ve started
Wholehearted

If your vision’s strong
You won’t be denied it
Best to close your eyes
Before you try and find it
Then it’s no surprise
What you do believe
Is what you get

In the interim
Everybody prays
For love
Who do you forget
Who are you
Thinking of
Do you still regret
Oh, ok
Straight to your telephone

Wholehearted
Life is getting good
I knew it would
I’m here now
I’ve started
Wholehearted

Wholehearted
Life is feeling good
I knew it would
I’m here now
I’ve started
Wholehearted

Out of sight

When I’m out of mind
I’m out of sight
I shed my feathers and i
Step into the night

And things come back to me
That I forgot
And I wake up to find
I’m someone that I’m not

It’s all so very fleeting
Saw it from the corner of my eye
My heart is barely beating
And I look down from the sky

When I’m out of sight
I’m out of mind
Something holds me back from
Swinging on the vine

Turns my wilderness to parking lots
And i wake up to find
I’m somewhere that I’m not

It’s all so very fleeting
Saw it from the corner of my eye
My heart is barely beating
And i look down from the sky...

Here's the love

Where's the love
Oh, please…
Where's the love

Here's the love
That's right…
Here's the love

Looking for the new things
Waiting for familiar

Hold your breath and life brings
Exactly what you need

Tempering your temper
You are getting better

Same you only better…

Who's got your back
I do
I got your back

Who gets a smile
You do
You get a smile

When the course gets cryptic
You're a growing sceptic

Unapologetic
'Cause pieces fell apart

Taking hold, your puzzle
Leads you from your trouble

Leads you from your bubble back to us

Life is short but wide

Suit 1:
The first suit’s won his bid to buy
The deal’s begun as soldiers leave our side
“so, let planes fly”, he said,
“while contracts knot my tie.
But far enough away I’ll sleep the night.
The wanderlust, my company’s dust
Has blazed a trail designed to make you trust.
For ‘glory days’ enterprise must fight !
‘cause life is short but baby
Life is wide, life is wide (oh yeah)
Life is wide
What a day
What a night

Suit 2:
The suit’s been pressed in shiny dressing
The microphones accompany his stride
The question’s flung, “can’t war be overcome?”
The shiny suit replies, “how i have tried.
I’ve done my best. My god is your witness.
I’ve been there, too. We have the proof for you.
But ‘safer days’ mean that some may die.
It pains my heart to tell you,
‘life is short and life is wide. But life is wide.’
What a day.... What a night....”

Soldier:
“dear mom & dad”, the soldier writes
“you need to hear from me about tonight.
They trained my will so many ways to kill.
It still felt weird though hearing, “it’s alright.”
I miss you guys. I missed you this Christmas.
We got the games and passed them ‘round at night.
But hope has died just as i have died.
I learned today that life is short but wide.”
But wide...
What a soul...
What a life...

Love will come again

Girl, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
As you go on
Love will come again

Couldn’t decide if you could make it
Tempted by the TV, you were ready to fold
Something inside propelled you out here
Grateful for the moment you started to let go

Girl, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
As you go on
Love will come again

Bet you he was the man you dreamt of
And tell me she’s the woman
You were ready to hold
Bet you think it’s clear deception
The way this life has plagued you
Your pain is getting older

Girl, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
As you go on
Love will come again...

Glad to know

I’ve been calling
Calling to the birds
For their sweet, simple
Melodies

I’ve been searching
Searching for the words
To make sense of
Tragedies

I’m so glad to know
I found you
‘cause this life’s
Felt long

But another summer’s
Here again
And here’s where
I belong

Glad to know you and me
Have got what it takes
Glad to know I’ve been free
To make each mistake

‘cause when the love comes
And it comes everyday
Glad to know you
Meant for it to be this way

I am different - different than before
With my world seeing too much red
I’ve accepted, I’m the matador
But I’ll jump the fence instead

I’m so glad to know
I found you
When the nights
Grow steep

See, I’m banking so much
Faith inside
And finally i can
Sleep

Glad to know you and me
Have got what it takes
Glad to know I’ve been free
To make each mistake

When my day falls in all directions
There’s remedy in the comedy
When I trust in the imperfection
It leads me to believe
You’re all I’ll ever need

Glad to know you and me
Have got what it takes
Glad to know I’ve been free
To make each mistake

Glad to know you and me
Are all that it takes
Glad to know I’ve been free
To make each & every mistake
‘Cause when the love comes
And it’ll come everyday
Glad to know you
And to show myself through you
Glad to know you...
Meant for it to be this way

Our song

Warm sun
Beating on your warm skin
Let me get some lotion
Let me rub it in for you

Cool breeze
Bringing in the evening
Shaving with your slow hand
While you hum along

And daybreak
On a holiday makes
Time to put the sign out
“Don’t make up the room”

A soft kiss
Planted on my red lips
Swaying to the music
This is our song

And we want it so much
The insatiable touch
That began with a rush
As we look through the years
Look how far we have come

Good days clustered w/
Some not so good days
That’s what makes a life-time
And you & me so strong

A soft kiss coming from my red lips
Swaying to the music
This is our song
